Getting started

Getting started with IBM Cloud applications is straightforward, once you purchase a subscription from your sales contact.

1. In a browser, type the secure URL that you receive when you subscribe to your IBM Cloud application such as this:

   https://clmsaas.clm.ibmcloud.com/pwm

   Important: If you need to bookmark the PWM site, ensure that your bookmark is only for the base URL. If your site is called ibmtest.clm.ibmcloud.com then your bookmark should only contain ibmtest.clm.ibmcloud.com/pwm. You may need to edit your bookmark to ensure this is the case.
2. Sign in with the username and password that you were supplied in your subscription email, and, once logged on, you can create teams and project areas, and begin managing your projects from one secure site. For information about your cloud product, see: Product Information.

   

   You have five attempts to enter your password before the system locks you out. If you have forgotten your password, click Forgotten Password. Type your username and click Search; type your email address, and click Check Answers. You receive a code in your email, and type this code in the Code field. In the New password field, type a new password.

   Important: Do not save passwords for PWM through browsers or browser extensions for this can cause issues. If you run into problems with PWM returning you to the login screen when it should not, you may want to delete any saved passwords and type manually.
